Ischemic colitis in young adult patients

Abstract
A retrospective study of 10 patients suggests a possible causal relationship between the thrombogenic properties of estrogen-containing drugs and ischemic colitis, a disease entity believed to be related to occlusion of small blood vessels. Ischemic colitis is a disease limited not only to the elderly, and it should be included in the differential diagnosis of colitis with bleeding in younger patients.
